But here’s an under-the-radar player for Cashman to watch, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal: Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray.

All-Star right-hander Zack Greinke will be the big prize if the Diamondbacks sell at the trade deadline, though such a deal would be complicated – Greinke, 35, is owed the balance of his $31.5 million salary this season and a combined $64 million in 2020-21, though some of the money is deferred. He also can block trades to 15 clubs.

Lefty Robbie Ray, earning $6.05 million this season with one year of arbitration remaining, would be a less complicated transaction. The Yankees and other teams historically have liked Ray not simply because he is left-handed, but also because his career 28.3 percent strikeout rate is higher than that of Clayton Kershaw (27.4), Madison Bumgarner (23.9) and Patrick Corbin (22.9).

Ray, 27, has the upside of a No. 2 starter, though he rarely pitches deep into games. Teams also view him as a potential weapon out of the bullpen in the postseason.

Ray is 5-6 with a 4.10 ERA in 18 starts this season. In 2017, he won a career-high 15 games with a career-low 2.89 ERA, earning his first (and only) All-Star bid. But he’s never thrown more than 174.1 innings in a season, and that was in 2016.
